That or some retard could have pulled out some of the ducting under the steering column when wiring in an aftermarket alarm/remote start/etc, wouldn't be the first time I've seen it.

If you're just looking to cut at 6k rpm, I'm sure that can be set up with something like a Bee-R, but there's got to be a cheaper alternative than that particular unit. You just need one limiter, the Bee-R essentially does two.

How much are they paying you to let him drive vs. how much will it cost to redo the engine....brakes....clutch.....transmision........you get the idea :icon_razz

It could be worse...you could have gone down to a 1.8L 4 cyl....oh wait.....crap....that's me. I very much miss the sound and straight line speed of my Supra. On the flip side though, the celica I DD now should be MUCH easier to maintain and losing 1200lbs - 1300lbs reeeeeeeally helps in the...

Brake yes....I would hope so. Things falling apart is due to the age of the car and the abuse it's been through in the past, just as it was posted earlier. If you went through every nut, bolt, bushing, seal, etc etc...you'd have a reliable dependable car that could take even more abuse for...

If you're just looking for a sample of a decent condition stock blue leather interior, here's what I found after a quick google search.... or this... Google works!

tekdeus had put some really nice ones on his cherry widebody... Shiny things are purdy!

If you're looking for anywhere above 500hp at the wheels I'd second what Enraged has brought up. Standalone is pretty much a must in that power range. Ask local shops what they like and use, you're going to be happiest with what they can tune well and are familiar with if problems arise...

Stoppers are the best, for your power goals a Cometic gasket would do just fine. It's a lot cheaper than the HSK stopper gasket too. If you're build is solid, you can go a little bit thinner rather than thicker as well. Just realize this is bumping up your compression ratio a tiny bit.

They should just pop out. No special instructions in the TSRM other than "remove". Here's the page for cam wear specs: http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=EM&P=48 I know that the cams have a tendancy to come out looking pretty nasty on the 7M but still work fine. I...

Machine shop should be able to test the hardness for you. Check the top to see if it's warped as well, cams don't bend well ;)

With buying the new car I don't think I'll be able to make it if it's going to be Seattle area this year. Driving down wouldn't be so much the problem as cost of accomodation for staying down there.

What Indigo is saying is your speedo itself is working exactly as designed. Essentially what you've done when you change the tire size in the back is you've changed one of the size of one of the "gears" that feeds the speedometer. Changing the gear size makes it either spin faster (a smaller...

I might have an extra, I'd have to go and see if it hasn't been accidentally thrown on by others cleaning up at some point though, and I won't likely be able to until towards the end of the weekend at the earliest (it was at a buddy's garage). I'm in Abbotsford.

No :icon_razz I would imagine that would have been a tad low, SR20DET stock makes 202hp at the crank, add the intake and exhaust and the extra 1 - 2 psi of boost because of them and I would think it should be sitting around 180 - 185hp at the wheels. But who knows for sure, like I said, it...

I've used DinoDyno with some success in the past. The curves tend to come out pretty good for mapping the power band vs. rpm, but to get anywhere near accurate horsepower numbers it has to be almost drag strip smooth. My buddy's S13 Silvia with just intake and exhaust on it phone dyno'd @...

There is a whole seperate pipe to handle the wastegate gas. Depending on the configuration, it either vents straight down about 3' from the turbo or at that point gets reconnected back in to the rest of the exhaust. The idea is to keep turbulence from the internal wastegate opening away from...

Nice shot! I'm still trying to work out an oil burning issue with my car, otherwise I'd be there in an instant. At this rate it may get rebuilt or swapped in for a different used one....sucks just buying the car a month and a half ago and having this happen :( It's going through 1L of oil...

The stock elbow is one of the biggest things holding the exhaust back. Switching to a good 3" or divorced downpipe will give you a significantly faster spool, slightly more boost, and likely save you a bit of weight as well.

Unless it's got an upgraded wheel, there's not much point. It's out of it's efficiency range and will give you very very minmal gains if any at all with lots of added stress on the turbo and risk to the engine.
